New Web Site and Alice Day again

Okay, two things.

First, I have a new web site up at www.hwaet.org. It's my music site! Here you can click on "Songbook" in the header and find all the songs I've put up for Alice Day--thirty-four songs to date! You can look things up alphabetically by title, or find the latest few that you missed--or the earliest ones that you didn't know about. I have lyrics with chords, mp3s, and in many cases sheet music. The I Promised Eli mp3s are also all available in one place, if you missed out on that CD. And of course it links to my Bandcamp site, where my latest CD is available in physical form or as downloads.

And, since I have rather a backlog of new songs I didn't post while working to finish the album, I have a current Alice Day post as well:

Alice Day
lyrics and melody by Cat Faber 2012
mp3 here

 Em                    D
From its cocoon a new song is cajoled
     G        C             G          D
The listener warms it, its wings to unfold
   Em                      D
Beginning bedraggled, yet flourish it may
     G          D       B      Em
The sky is the limit on Alice Day.


Come, but remember that music so new
May still have a fair bit of growing to do,
The lyrics may change or the tune go astray,
That's just how it happens on Alice Day.

Lyrics as fresh as a lyric can be
You're first in the hearing, well, first after me.
Sometimes the music I barely can play
You won't get perfection on Alice Day.

Here's where the music is squirreled away
Wildflowers grow in a ragged bouquet
Wonder emerges from fingers of clay
Into the morning of Alice Day.
